Wearable Sleep EEG and Auditory Stimulation in Healthy Adults
Sponsor: University of Houston
Summary
The purpose of this single-site pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and technical performance of a wearable sleep-monitoring system that records electroencephalography (EEG) and delivers brief, low-volume sounds during selected stages of sleep. Approximately 30 healthy adults aged 18 to 30 years will use the system at home for up to 12 weeks, with a target of at least 15 usable nights of sleep recording. Participants will also complete smartphone-based assessments of sleep, mood, stress, device experience, and memory. The study will evaluate home-use completion, EEG signal quality, automated sleep-stage detection, delivery of auditory stimulation, participant adherence, and safety and tolerability. This pilot study is intended to refine the device and study procedures and is not designed to determine whether the system treats depression or another medical condition.

Wearable EEG-Based Sleep Monitoring and Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation System
An investigational, external, battery-powered, non-invasive forehead-worn system that records EEG during sleep, supports automated sleep-stage and slow-wave detection, and delivers brief, low-volume pink-noise sounds during selected stages of non-rapid eye movement sleep according to study-configured closed-loop timing parameters. The system does not deliver electrical stimulation to the participant. Device and stimulation settings are configured by study personnel.
